It is a strong rural comedy drama, open ing with a realistic scene of rural home life, showing Skinner Tavern with Uncle Josh’s Wild Briar farm in the distance. The play progresses, abounding with interesting situations, until the climax is reached, in the third act, when a human being is helplessly bound to a log to be cut in twain by a mammoth buzz saw, and is only saved by the timely arrival of Uncle Josh. “Joshua Simpkins” was written with the view of keeping an audience thoroughly amused and it fully car ries out the author’s intention. ’The plot is not allowed to interfere with the comedy parts to any great extent, thus producing a play that is not only thrillingly interesting, but is said to contain as many laughs as there are grains in a “heaped up” bushel of wheat.

SATLBDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1897 “CLEAN YOUR SIDEWALKS.” , Councilman Denny Hai 2,000 Circulars Distributed. Mr. R. A. Denny, chairman of the police committee, is going steadily for ward with the work of making Rome bloom like a rose. Yesterday he had 2,000, circulars dis tributed and one was placed not only in the stores, but every residence in Rome. On the circular the following ordinance was printed: “All occupants of houses, merchants, shop-keepers, grocers and tradesmen shall be compelled every day in the Week except Sunday, before 8 o’clock a. m., and on Saturday nights, to sweep or have swept the sidewalk before their respective houses and lots, or so much thereof as is paved with br.ck or other material, and shall collect the rubbish therefrom and deposit the same in boxes ready for the city scavenger carts. Anv person violating this ordinance shall be punished by fine not exceeding fifty dol lars or imprisonment not exceeding ten days for each offense.” This ordinance applies not only to the business section, but the residence por tion of the town. “We have the Fourth ward looking as clean as a floor. The people have co operated with us in a most commendable manner and have swept their yards and walks, and heaped the trash ready for our carts. Thursday we hauled about 60 loads out of there. “Tomorrow (Saturday) we will clean around the four principal .churches for Sunday. If the weather permits, we will sweep every street crossing from Fifth avenue to the Broad street.” “Tn- worst cold I ever had in my life was cured by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,” writes W. H.

I believe that the late John M. Lang ston, who died in Washington recently, was the first negro to be elected to office by a popular vote. The late Senator Thurman made his first reputation as a lawyer in a case which involved Mr. Langston’s liberty. When he was 6 years of age, Langston’s owner, in Virginia, sent him to a friend named W. D. Gooch, who lived in Ohio, to be educated. Gooch had formerly re-' sided in Virginia and had been a slave holder, but voluntarily emancipated his slaves and was suspected of being an abolitionist. He treated the Langston boy as a member of his own family. Langston was an octoroon and had few of the features or characteristics of the colored race, so he easily passed for a white boy. When he was about 10 years old Gooch decided to remove to Missouri. It was suspected by some of the neigh bors that he had an intention of send ing young Langston back into slavery, and they made affidavits upon which Allen G. Thurman, then prosecuting attorney, charged Gooch with an intent to abduct the boy and carry him from a free to a slave state. It was a notable case—the first of the kind—and al though Mr. Langston himself always believed that Gooch was innocent of any such intention as was charged the court found in favor of the state, and young Langston was sent to school at Oberlin, 0., which at that time was the only institution in the United States where colored children could be educated. In his conduct of this case Mr. Thurman distinguished himself, and it was the foundation of his fame as a lawyer.—William E. Curtis in Chicago Record. HIS BRIDE WATCHED. Great Game of Football Put Up by Young Warren Beckwith. “Oh, I knew he could do it I” was the exclamation of delight that caught the attention of the big crowd out to wit ness the recent football game between lowa Wesleyan and the Keokuk med icals when Warren Wallace Beckwith made a 40 yard dash around the left end Os the big medics and scored the first touchdown for lowa Wesleyan. The ex clamation was uttered by Mrs. Jessie Lincoln Beckwith, the daughter of ex- Secretary Lincoln, who made a runaway match of it with young Beckwith the other day. Beckwith was playing the game of his life, inspired by the presence of his young bride. Whether or not the rest of the team felt the same inspiration it is certain that the big fellows from Keo kuk, flushed though they were with re cent victories and averaging 20 pounds a man more in weight than the lowa Wesleyans, went down to defeat. At the end of the game the score stood 48 to 0 in favor of the lowa Wesleyan, ami more than half the points had been made by Beckwith alone. There was a big crowd of enthusias tic spectators, but none was more excit ed than the daughter of the ex-secretary of war. During the first part of the game she watched the struggle from a carriage, but as the excitement grew more intense she left the carriage, and, with several girl friends, followed along the side lines the struggling players. Once, when Beckwith was temporarily disabled, she pushed her way in to see how badly hurt he was, and during the entire game she never lost sight of him.
